A Great Christmas Compilation

"This box set is wonderful. It has just about every song one can remember from childhood. A word of warning, though: This Is Not The Same "Treasury of Christmas" That Is Advertised On TV. I initially bought the set Amazon has under the premise that it was the same as the one I had ordered(and was misplaced)from Time-Life 4 years ago. While it is missing some of the songs from the other set, it is still excellent and definitely worth making a part of your Christmas music library!"

The only Christmas CD needed.

"This is the best set I have ever heard. It will take you back to when you were a kid waiting for a Christmas special to come on TV."

Awesome!

"These two CD's have a great selection of Christmas favorites! I highly recommend this set to anyone who likes to listen to Christmas music."

The best collection of Christmas Songs Ever!

"This is the most awesome and enjoyable holiday collection I have heard to date. It has 36 of the best songs sung by great artists. Most are sung by the artists that made them popular such as Bing Crosby with White Christmas and gene Autry with Rudolph. Also how can one go wrong with the price. They can't! It is a great variety of music put on 3 CDs and is a must for any holiday music lover!"

CHOOSE THIS: WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

"For those of a certain age, this three-disc set is as good a sample of seasonal nostalgia as any. As for the other (two disc) version that seems to be kicking around, this is better IF you want such items as Gene Autry's "Here Come Sant Claus" and the Torme version of "The Christmas Song." You might quibble with the fact that the Nat King Cole version is omitted, but this is just that: a quibble. However, there ARE certain tradeoffs. Elvis doing "I'll be home for Christmas rather than Perry Como is one but, then again, I'm a purist, and I'd rather have Sinatra's "Have Yourself a Merry little Christmas," which I don't entirely understand myself. Of course, Guy Lombardo weighing in with "Auld Land Syne" is worth the trip from anywhere. But Williams for Crosby in "Do You Hear What I Hear"? You must be kidding! On second thought maybe I'd better get both.... In the meantime, have a Merry."
